Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has announced he and his fiancee are expecting their second child together.

The 25-year-old actor - whose soap character David Platt has just discovered his pregnant wife Kylie does not know if he is the father of their baby after she had a one-night-stand with his half brother Nick Tilsley - announced his happy news on Twitter.

Jack wrote: "Me and @LaurenShippey are pleased to announce we are expecting a baby, we are both very happy.

"Thanks for all your kind tweets for me and @LaurenShippey ... I like the "is it Nicks?" Comments haha x"

Jack and Lauren have been dating since they were 14 and already have four-year-old daughter Nyla together.
